I think not. The grim north of Birmingham and then Wales, followed by Bristol, Bath, Cheddar, Bridgewater, Tivvy (*shudder*) and then home. Probably in the rain.
So tomorrow my brother and I will be driving up to Brimfield near Birmingham and setting up our tent, and then 8am on Monday I start pushing my skateboard.
200 miles is, as a co-worker of mine so eloquently phrased; a fuck-off long way on a skateboard!
I'm excited though! The mild case of Labrynthitis that I have been enduring for 2 weeks or so is slowly improving - I'm still dizzy and headachey but I won't let it stop me.
At this point, anything that could have gone wrong or not gone to plan, has gone wrong or not gone to plan. The only exception being the car breaking down, so once we get that out of the way on the trip up all will be well
The plan is to text updates to as I go and he will hopefully be posting them as status updates on the skate's facebook page www.facebook.com/pages/LIV-Vil… so you can keep track of me by liking the page (hint hint).
Wish me luck, and if you want to make a donation (or if you already have but want to again!) but are not lucky enough to currently be in the same country as me; A video of the skate will find it's way on line at some point and there will be a Just Giving number so you can text donations.
Cheers all

Update!
Ok! I'm in South Africa and have been for about 2 months. I'm living in Sun City doing various things, and visited the LIV Village in KwaZulu Natal. It was a moving experience and I've been pointed in a direction for 2012 - I'm going to be skating 1000km for LIV through Holland. https://www.facebook.com/pages/1000km-skate-for-LIV/268944176485797 Fun times. Prep has begun.
I'm mildly homesick and missing various peoples and skateboard components.
I do NOT want to go back to my previous job when I get back to England and as they let me go when I left the hemisphere I'm thinking I will use this opportunity to find alternative employment.

5 days til Goodwood...
So I got invited to the Goodwood Roller Marathon on Sunday the 14th of August and I'm going! :eager: Seems I have been slightly noticed as a distance skater *pleased*
For those of you who won't know what the event involves (everyone except Digitalstencil then...), it's at the Goodwood race track in Chichester, 1300 people on various forms of skate related contraptions (mostly roller/inline skates) line up, and someone shouts "GO!"
There are 4 events:
Mini - 5 miles
Midi - 12 miles
Full - 26 miles
Dual - 53 miles
I'm entering the Dual event cos I think I'm hardcore :P I shouldn't really be doing that big of a distance so late in my tra
